### Issue 1: Incomplete 401 Authentication Error Handling
**Location**: `src/service/service.ts:42-43`
```typescript
// if (err.response?.status === 401) {
// }
```
**Problem Description**:
There is commented-out 401 error handling logic in the code, indicating that
authentication failure scenarios may need to be handled in the future. In older
versions of axios (before v1.13.3), the `AxiosError.status` field may be
missing in some cases, which may be one of the reasons for commenting out this
functionality.
**Potential Risks**:
- If this code is enabled in the future without upgrading axios, you may
encounter the issue where the `status` field is undefined
- Users will not receive clear prompts when authentication expires
**Impact Scope**:
- Direct impact: error handling in service.ts
- Indirect impact: all callers that depend on service (JobsService,
overviewService, etc.)
- Affected area: overall frontend UI
**Severity**: MINOR
**Improvement Suggestions**:
After upgrading axios to v1.13.5, the `AxiosError.status` field has been
fixed, so you can consider enabling this logic:
```typescript
const err = (err: AxiosError): Promise<AxiosError> => {
if (err.response?.status === 401) {
// Handle authentication failure: redirect to login page or clear token
// Example: router.push('/login') or localStorage.clear()
}
return Promise.reject(err)
}
```
**Rationale**: PR #7368 in v1.13.5 specifically fixed the missing `status`
field issue, making this functionality safe to enable.

### Issue 2: Missing Security Upgrade Documentation
**Location**: PR description, project documentation
**Problem Description**:
This PR fixes the CVE-2026-25639 security vulnerability, but the PR
description and code changes do not explicitly explain the importance of this
security fix. For security-related upgrades, clear documentation is required.
**Potential Risks**:
- Maintainers may underestimate the priority of this PR
- Users may not understand the necessity of the upgrade
- Lack of traceable records during security audits
**Impact Scope**:
- Affected area: overall projectsecurity
- Documentation: CHANGELOG, security announcements
**Severity**: MINOR
**Improvement Suggestions**:
Add to the PR description:
```markdown
## Security Fix
This upgrade addresses CVE-2026-25639, a potential Denial of Service
vulnerability in axios's mergeConfig function.
While SeaTunnel UI's usage of axios is not directly exploitable due to
static configuration, upgrading to the secure version is a security best
practice.
```
Add to the project CHANGELOG after merging:
```markdown
### Security Updates
- Upgrade axios from 1.7.7 to 1.13.5 to address CVE-2026-25639
```
**Rationale**: Security fixes should be clearly documented for security
auditing and version planning.

### Issue 3: Large Dependency Version Span
**Location**: package.json
**Problem Description**:
Upgrading from 1.7.7 to 1.13.5 spans multiple minor versions (1.8.x -
1.12.x). Although the API is compatible, there is a lack of progressive upgrade
verification.
**Potential Risks**:
- There may be unknown breaking changes between minor dependency versions
- Cannot trace which minor version introduced potential issues
**Impact Scope**:
- Affected area: frontend UI build and runtime
- Risk level: Low (axios version 1.x commits to backward compatibility)
**Severity**: MINOR
**Improvement Suggestions**:
The current upgrade is reasonable because:
1. Dependabot detected a security vulnerability and automatically generated
it
2. The target version (1.13.5) is the npm latest tag version
3. axios 1.x series commits to backward compatibility
Future considerations:
- Regularly update dependencies to avoid excessive version accumulation
- Add dependency update checking tools (such as Renovate) in CI
**Rationale**: Although the current upgrade is safe, keeping dependencies
up-to-date can reduce risks.
